The Budapest Connection

By Dr. Henry C. Lee & Jerry Labriola

The Budapest Connection opens with three young women, each with
gunshot wounds to the head, their corpses left in a bizarre condition.
Murder, mystery, and suspense: Drs. Henry C. Lee and Jerry Labriola have
succeeded in bringing together the crucial elements of a page-turning
detective novel.

The heroes of the novel include a high-profile cast of forensic
experts. Lee's own extensive experience in the field of forensic
science contributed to the unique concept of a team of specialists
referred to as the GIFT--the Global Interactive Forensics Team. The team
includes two forensic pathologists and members from the U.K.'s
Scotland Yard and Canada's Royal Mounted Police Force. These are
led by Dr. Henry Liu--a forensic scientist and noted university
professor--as they travel the world in their private jet, pooling their
varied expertise to work the most challenging crime scenes.

The novel begins with a triple-homicide, but the suspense
doesn't stop before the crime leads to a more sinister,
international plot. The GIFT must prevail through death threats and
deception in order to uncover the truth. Lee and Labriola's work is
fast paced and complex--a story that is sure to please forensic
professionals and CSI fans alike.

Dr. Henry C. Lee is a professor of forensic science at the
University of New Haven and a Life Fellow of the American College of
Forensic Examiners Institute, of which he has been a member since 2002.
He is the author of Dr. Henry Lee's Forensic Files (with Jerry
Labriola) and Cracking Cases and Cracking More Cases (with Thomas W.
O'Neil), among other works.

Jerry Labriola, MD, has coauthored with Dr. Lee on Dr. Henry
Lee's Forensic Files and Famous Crimes Revisited. He is the author
of five mystery novels, including the recently released The Maltese
Murders and the critically acclaimed Murders at Hollings General
